Totally. The situation is absolutely ridiculous.

It was all fun when Netflix, Hulu & HBO were the only names in town. Now that they're constantly removing good movies, and adding cookie-cutter "original content", I'm actually considering cancelling my subscriptions. Trying to keep up without subscribing to everyone starts to feel more like buying individual movies, and half of the things I want to watch is geo-locked anyway. Meanwhile, random shady free streaming services are becoming more usable, especially for caching up with shows older than 5 years. All it takes is updating uBlock and killing an occasional cryptominer.

I'm strongly convinced torrenting will experience a resurgence of interest now.
